"Grand Theft Auto IV is due to be released in early 2008"

http://www.gta4.net/news/index.php


Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) is the game engine currently being used by Rockstar Games to develop upcoming titles Grand Theft Auto IV and Midnight Club: Los Angeles. Kikizo have just released an extensive first-hand preview of Midnight Club: LA, which we felt was worth mentioning since it gives a fair insight into how the RAGE engine performs. Check it out:


check the 7 screenies, if this game is gonna be THIS good...holy crap!

I can't give them a chance, my faith in release dates has been shattered. I'm hoping GTA4 is released before '09.. maybe (dare I say it?) '10? EEP!

I'm prolly going to have to buy that PS3 one of these days, I hope they reduce the price quite a bit for this holiday season. FFXIII is supposed to be coming out for the winter quarter this year (translation, won't come out until Sept. 2009) and I definitely want to play that.

listen...i had over 700 hours of battlefield vietnam under my belt.

me and a group of about 20 people waited practically a year for BF2 to finally get delivered.

drove us effing mad.

it already has slipped.

after they announced the slip, last year, to 08, rockstar's share price dipped.

gives you an idea of the importance of GTA4.

i was just IM talking with a gamer today.

we were both saying we might buy a PS3 and not tell anyone!

consoles are 'looked down on' by the hardcore gamer frat.

as long as i can plug a mouse in...playing FPS's with a controller is so pathetic. a mouse can point in the blink of an eye.

bbbbbbut, if i get some money comin' to me, i might get a PS3 just to see what GTA4 and BF3 ("bad company") look like..

if you've seen the BF3/BFBC vids, you'll see why people are drooling..

final fantasy, aah, never played it, but i know it's massive :)

I spent 6 years with EA. I'm not sure that we ever shipped a game on time. Spore is now 2, maybe 3 years late.

aha..


well games are becoming incredibly complex software operations. BF2, which i have about 1,400 hours playing, was very late as well, at least a year, i think. they could at least release something playable for the nutters to chew on, in the mean time, tho..a sort of pre demo test thing. would help in getting more people on board early on as well.

i think the future lies in infrequent engine refreshes but frequent modding. not sure that they crytek2 engine is it, yet, but it's very close to something that could be used on a whole host of games. imo.


after all BF2 started life as a mod for BF1942. desert combat wasn't it? or conflict..

i just remember loving that "basra's edge" map..
